Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania opened to some pretty grizzly critic reviews, but I honestly think it was one of the better recent Marvel offerings. (Not that that is saying a whole lot.) We discuss what we liked, what we didn't, and where we think the Marvel Cinematic Universe is headed.

Skynet is live? Things like OpenAI and ChatGPT are disrupting things in the world right now at a break-neck pace. Some for the better, some for the worse, and some....to be determined. The future or artificial intelligence and technology that can learn is is fascinating, but as with any new technology, can also be a bit frightening. We talk about the future of AI in this week's podcast and speculate on just how close we are to the singularity. Join us!

From dragons to unicorns, and elves, fairies, and the boogeyman, mythical creatures have always played a part in different cultures. We talk about the ebbs and flows of some creatures' popularity.
When we were kids bigfoot, the loch ness monster, jackalopes, and bat boy were basically household names. Today, not so much.

The release of a big budget superhero movie used to be a big deal. (It also made a number of sub-par movies look like big box-office hits.) With more than a dozen big-name superhero movies on tap in 2023 and countless streaming releases...have we hit the point of oversaturation? Are we the only ones who are feeling a little bit of the superhero fatigue? We love us some superheroes, but maybe Hollywood should focus on qualify instead of quantity.

"Don't make that face or it'll stick like that."
"Turn that light off in the back of the car or we'll get pulled over."
"If you eat those watermelon seeds, you'll grow one in your belly."
We talk about what we've dubbed, parent-isms, and some of the lies parents knowingly, and unknowingly told their kids, along with some of the ones that we probably tell out own kids now, in this week's podcast.

We all know at least a few nursery rhymes. They're seemingly innocent little rhymes we sing to small children, but some of them have much darker origins that I would have ever guessed. (And thanks to the internet, there are a ton of made up ones too.) We spend this week looking at a few of the dark nursery rhyme origins we've found.

So, we want to celebrate all the things in the world we geek out over and encourage others to let their geek flags fly, for whatever they want!
